The moon rotates at the same speed as it orbits the earth therefore it takes 27.32 days. This is the same time it takes the moon to orbit the earth. (it's also the reason we always see the same side of the moon).
The moon has an axis, and as the moon orbits the Earth, it keeps the same face toward the earth. So the moon rotates on its axis the same length of time it takes to rotate the earth -28 days.
It takes 27.32 of the time interval that we call our "day".
You always see the same side - as the moon takes the same time to orbit the earth as it does to rotate once on its axis !
yes, it takes axpproximately 27 days
Because the moon takes the same time to rotate once on its axis - as it does to go around the earth. Therefore we see the same side of the moon every time.
Yes it does. This means we always see the same side of the moon facing Earth.
It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to revolve around the Earth, and the same amount of time to rotate on its axis.
27.32 days
It takes the moon 27.3 days to rotate on its axis also it takes the number of days for it to have one orbit around the earth. for earth it takes 24 hours for it to rotate on its axis it takes 364 and 1/4 days to take an orbit around the sun.
Rotate
Both of these periods are exactly equal ... about 27.32 days.
Moon moves around the planet Earth in an orbit and rotates on its own axis. It takes moon around 28 days to move around the planet Earth. Normally, the moon takes around 27 days to rotate on its axis.
